In this paper advanced demand modeling approaches are proposed to study intercity passenger booking decision and to segment preferences; all the models are calibrated on internet booking data. Modeling formulations considered include multinomial logit, mixed logit, and latent class models; markets are segmented on trip distances: long, medium, and short. The results show that the following variables: fare price, advance booking (number of day before departure), and departure day of week, can be used as determinants affecting ticket booking. Mixed logit and latent class models are then applied to account for taste heterogeneity. The results indicate that mixed logit model provides the best statistical fit for the long distance and medium distance markets, while the latent class model provides the best statistical fit for the short distance market. Results also indicate that segmenting passengers by booking period provides better fit than segmenting passengers by socioeconomic information.
